Profile:
Injury struck at exactly the wrong time for Paul Franks. An intelligent,
thoughtful fast-medium bowler who could make serious contributions with the
bat, he had gained international recognition with an appearance for England
in a one-day international against the West Indies on his home ground of
Trent Bridge. That was in 2000, the year he was elected Young Cricketer of
the Year by the Cricket Writers' Club. However he missed much of the 2001
season with a knee injury and did not re-appear until midway through the
2002 season.
Franks had been a star of the England Under-19 side and was vice-captain
of the team that won the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa in 1998. The
following winter he was called up as a replacement for the England A team in
Zimbabwe and South Africa, and was selected in his own right for the
following winter's A tour to Bangladesh and New Zealand. Having previously
attended the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai under the guidance of Dennis
Lillee, he was in the provisional squad to attend the 2002/03 ECB National
Academy in Australia but did not make the final cut.
Still only 23 in 2002, Franks has time on his side and if he can
consistently produce performances for Nottinghamshire, it is unlikely that
he will have featured in international plans for the last time. (Copyright
